Grassroots guitars by ESP

[Kosthrash]

Anyone has experience with these? I wasn't aware of them, until I saw them in the used market. They're Mij and inexpensive...

Since when they were MiJ? I always assumed they were China, Korea, and Indo. They're supposed to be Japan's equivalent of the LTD line being more beginner and intermediate guitars.

I've seen a lot of old mik ones but I was really really surprised to come across a neck through horizon for like 300 euro that says it's made in Japan.

I saw a few in Reverb with made in Japan sticker on the back of the headstock...

Agufish has a video (or two?) on youtube about them. I believe he's got a pink Les Paul copy, worth checking out. He also recommends a purchasing service (can't remember the name) whom you can use as a middle man to buy through. I think he spent ~$350.

For a while they were made in Korea/China/Indo and assembled in Japan
